BJP gained support in three of Delhi's five riot-hit constituencies, with Mohan Singh Bisht, Kapil Mishra, and Ajay Mahawar recording wins in Mustafabad, Karawal Nagar, and Ghonda, respectively.

Congress's failure to secure any seats in Delhi for the third time in a row raises concerns about its future, despite a high-voltage campaign led by Rahul Gandhi. The party's inability to rebuild its organizational base and past alliances with AAP have further diminished its voter support.

BJP won a resounding victory in Delhi, capturing 48 of 70 assembly seats, especially in areas bordering Haryana. AAP maintained dominance in Muslim and Dalit seats, while unauthorized colonies largely supported them. The division of votes between AAP and Congress benefited BJP significantly.

The BJP capitalized on the alleged financial irregularities in AAP's excise policy and the costly renovation of the CM's residence to undermine AAP’s image. They also targeted slum dwellers and the economically weak with promises of housing and financial aid, leading to BJP's resurgence in Delhi after 27 years.

Arvind Kejriwal's defeat marks a notable shift in New Delhi politics, highlighting both the diminishing trust in his governance post-alleged corruption scandals and unmet promises. His AAP party, now relegated to the opposition, faces significant challenges in maintaining its cohesion and relevance.
